John Campbell (philosophy of mind) at Oxford University has accepted the senior offer from Berkeley. (Campbell was chosen only a couple of years ago as the Wilde Professor of Mental Philosophy at Oxford, after David Chalmers turned the post down.) Campbell represents a style of philosophy of mind that is influential in the U.K., less so in the U.S. David Papineau at King's College, London had an interesting critical review of Campbell in the Times Literary Supplement in the last year illustrating why naturalistically-minded philosophers tend to find positions like Campbell's a bit puzzling. (I shall have to look for the precise reference.)
