Mathematical Sciences Research Institute -- Located on the top of the hill at UC-Berkeley, holding the whole view of the bay.
Well, this job is too nice to be true. So, the MSRI does not offer tenure. Fair enough.
Then, after a dinner, you can take a walk along the beach of Berkeley Marine. Quiet, peaceful, think about the day or sit on the bench watching sun set.
After the deep blue starts to sweep the whole sky, turn around and myriad house lights are spread from the top hill to the down water, blinking. This evening walk was really a piece of life experience.
