So Alchemist = Alchemist

Inventor = Magic item crafter + jury rigged inventions to replace the spellcasting of a wizard

Would crazy Victorian scientists do anything else with their Science?

Scientist as a bit of both = multi class, possibly with a prestige class to support it.

Academics, I don't see as the focus of a class. I want tales of derring do, crazy inventions and creeping insanity, not studying books and gentlely progressing the sum knowledge of the world.
