Thank you! I am trying to find openings in these areas.

I would be happy to remain in academia, but it is not so straightforward. I am not sure if I have enough publications for the bigger Canadian institutions and I cannot afford to be located outside the bigger cities due to the lack of specialised medical care. European schools often require teaching and operating in the domestic languages, which is I find quite challenging with my voice-to-text software, at least in German and French. I'm still actively trying for academic positions though.

I've applied to both these companies recently - I've yet to hear back.

The application process does ask whether or not you're disabled, however they do say this doesn't show up for the hiring manager and will not influence the process. The conversations I have had with recruiters in some other tech companies regarding this matter have always lead to being told that I was not a good fit.
