Hi, I don't know the situation in Europe. In the US, there are a number of data science boot camps geared more towards PhDs who decide that they want to do something else. I've had friends go into that and find jobs afterwards. I think that what helped them was not the material per se (if you've done physics, most of the math in data science is not terribly challenging), but 1) having space to work on the subject (some people might not have had experience with say coding or thought about coding interviews) and 2) Network The American physical society just launched a topical group on data science in physics. We're planning to offer training to help students who want to either apply data science to physics or want to transition out. We're also hoping to have some webinars from people who started off doing physics and went into industry to let students learn their stories. I hope that's helpful...
