Hello friends, colleagues and fellow research administrators

I will be leaving the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in
Cambridge Mass for a new exciting and challenging position and opportunity
with KPMG, Peat Marwick.  I will be working in the mid-west and located in
Chicago.

The 5 and one-half years at Whitehead Institute have been very rewarding
and fulfilling professionally.   It has allowed me to have opportunities to
be involved in the many facets of the Institute's financial and sponsored
program operations and has been a tremendous learning experience.

I will keep in touch with my friends and colleagues from New England and
look forward to meeting new colleagues and making new friends in the
Mid-West.

I have been asked to attach the position announcement for my current
position at Whitehead.
