Brian Weatherson (philosophy of language, philosophical logic, decision theory, epistemology...well, everything but ethics and history it appears!), currently at Brown University, has been voted an offer by Cornell University.
Go to the "Philosophy Updates" category for the other recent postings about faculty moves to watch for, or scroll down.
UPDATE: Brian, who is of course best-known as a blogger (I know this is why Cornell really made the offer!), quibbles with my characterization of his areas here. I note, with mild amusement, that as evidence that he works in the "history of philosophy" he references a paper on Keynes and Wittgenstein. Someone less well-disposed to "analytic" philosophy than I am might, at this point, make a joke. In any case, there's no question that Brian is an admirably wide-ranging philosophical talent!
