Are there tax treaties or certain filings to avoid taxation on income earned abroad once a resident alien for tax purposes has permanently left the U.S?

I am a resident alien for tax purposes who is leaving the US permanently midway through this year to start a new job abroad. I will, therefore, earn six months of income in the US and six months of income abroad, but will have permanently left the U.S.

Are there tax treaties or certain filing statuses I should be aware of to avoid paying tax on income earned abroad once I have permanently left?

For tax year 2018, you can claim the foreign earned income exclusion or the foreign tax credit.
