    This has been done to mixed results. Rich institutes use professionals to develop management software, but actual scientific code can not be written without deep education. Years of statistical analysis and computational methods are usually required, making the deal unacceptable for an experienced developer on a job rich market. It would be interesting to see how the situation changes now, when market is changing the trend. Commented Aug 18 at 14:42
  • I am pretty sure this advice is not a good fit for the OPs situation, at least the way I understand the question. Commented Aug 18 at 14:42
  • Honestly, the faster way for me just ended up to be taking a bunch of CS classes concurrently with my physics classes. It's not like there's generally funding to have a whole extra person doing the coding for you - often the coding is a big part of the science, and requires pretty deep knowledge of the field. It's not a new idea, it just isn't practical in most contexts. Commented Aug 27 at 18:39
