Computer
Science departments at CMU and Pitt. The postdoc would split his/her
time between

minute
walk between the computer science departmental buildings.
The duration of the position is between 10 to 12 months. The earliest
possible start date is
January 2017, and the latest possible start date is the start of the
2017 - 2018 academic year.

and last year Zagats' ranked Pittsburgh as the top food city in the USA
(https://www.zagat.com/b/the-top-17-food-cities-of-2015#17)

cost of living
(see

The universities are near the center of the city, and are (by US
standards) well connected to the rest
of the city by mass transit.
