Michael Jubien to Florida

Michael Jubien (metaphysics, philosophy of logic and language) at the University of California at Davis has accepted a senior offer from the University of Florida at Gainesville, to start next fall. Last year, Florida made another significant senior appointment of David Copp (ethics, metaethics) from Bowling Green State University (Copp was, prior to that, a colleague of Jubien's at Davis). Adding these two distinguished senior philosophers to a large number of good, productive younger philosophers already at Florida (Murat Aydede, Kirk Ludwig, John Palmer, Greg Ray, among others) makes it rather likely, I think, that the Florida Ph.D. program will crack the top 50.
