given your phd I'd suggest you focus on research/data science roles over and above web development.

Python is also a really good choice in language; flexible, easy to learn and have lots of science/data libraries to have fun with.

If I where you, I'd check out websites such as Coursera, Edx and be on the look out for anything that seems to merge your interests.

For example:

  • https://www.coursera.org/specializations/bioinformatics
  • https://www.edx.org/course/computational-neuroscience-neuronal-dynamics-of-cognition-0
  • https://www.coursera.org/learn/modeling-simulation-natural-processes

For what it is worth, I think you may struggle to get a coding job without at least something on the CV that suggests you can (a) do it and (b) are willing. One or two online courses should probably help you figure out a path.

https://www.coursera.org/learn/stochasticprocesses is more of a theoretical math class, but some complaints in the reviews about the rigor and quality of the lectures and quizzes

https://www.coursera.org/learn/modeling-simulation-natural-processes seems to be a survey of method, and looking at the reviews it doesn't seem to cover anything deeply enough

It's pretty common for the courses outside of the really big ones like Ng's to be lower quality, so as long as you go in with expectations that aren't too high you should be able to pick up good information in either
