Dear friends and colleagues,

As many of you know, I've been engaged in a lengthy job search process
this past academic year.  I've been tremendously happy here at Heinz and
and still believe that CMU is the best place on earth for me, but it's
also extremely important to find opportunities for my wife Rebecca (a
pathologist and lymphoma researcher) that will enable her successful
research career.

I will be moving to NYC at the end of the month, and taking a two-year
position as Visiting Professor of Urban Analytics at New York University's
Center for Urban Science and Progress (NYU CUSP).  I'll be officially on
leave from CMU, but remain committed to advising my current students and
continuing our current projects, and we are working out an arrangement
that will provide me with the resources to do this.  After that, I hope
that Rebecca and I will be able to return to Pittsburgh, though that does
depend on finding the right opportunities for her.  In the meantime, she
is super-excited about her new faculty position at Columbia University's
Department of Pathology, where she'll be mentored by and collaborate with
one of the world's top lymphoma researchers.  We are both excited about
spending some time in NYC, though we will miss Pittsburgh tremendously and
hopefully be back often!

Thank you all for everything you have done to make my past ten years at
Heinz truly wonderful.  It has been a true pleasure working with and
getting to know all of you, and I am delighted that my job search has
resolved in such a way that I can continue my affiliation with Heinz and
CMU.  I also want to thank Krishnan (and our Provost) for being so
supportive during this process.  I look forward to staying in touch, and
if all goes well, to returning in Fall 2018!

All the best,
Daniel
