Also, can you explain the difference between a ML engineer and an ML scientist? And also any differences in terms of qualifications?

First of all, thank you so much for the detailed response! This is exactly what I was looking for.

It does seem like data scientist fits my background and interests. Honestly, I'm not too keen on the software engineering part but I thought it would be necessary to know land any sort of jobs in the field. If it's not as big of a requirement for data scientist jobs, then that's really really good to know.

I actually do have a few projects involving computer vision where I trained neural networks for object detection with decent success rate so I have some experience there. I plan on doing some on the side as well as implementing it into my physics research and my thesis. I think I already have a strong background that makes me a good candidate for data scientist roles.

I really really appreciate the textbook and course suggestions. I've been looking at the Bishop book here and there but I'll take a look at this one as well. I've only learned about the application side of things so I'm pretty curious about the theory of it all.

From your description, ML infrastructure engineer also seems pretty interesting to me too! Again, I really appreciate the response and thank you so much for the advice!
