Besides Paris, I can think of Marseille (PRISM) and Lyon - St.Etienne (GRAME, Univ Jean Monnet).

It will be strange to think of you not in New York! Best wishes to you

One possible advantage of (especially) Lyon: I think there is a direct 
train route to Barcelona, and thence to University Pompeu Fabra. They 
have significant history of activity in computer music, dsp, etc. They 
hosted ICMC back in 2005 or so. Of course, hot climate down there, which 
has to be taken into consideration. Catalonia especially is under 
ongoing water stress from droughts etc, which will only worsen over the 
years.
