Tamar Szabo Gendler (PhD Harvard 1996) and Zoltan Gendler Szabo (PhD MIT 1995), currently associate professors at Cornell University, have accepted the tenured offers from Yale University. In addition to her appointment in the Department of Philosophy, Prof. Gendler will also be the eventual director of the Cognitive Science Program.
This is great news for Yale. Zoltan Szabo is the author of what are in my view two of the more important papers in the philosophy of language in the last ten years ("Descriptions and Uniqueness" and "Compositionality as Supervenience). In addition to being one of the leading philosophers of language in the world, he has also published widely in metaphysics and the history of modern philosophy. Tamar Gendler is one of the more creative and wide-ranging thinkers in philosophy, whose work ranges over philosophy of mind, aesthetics, epistemology, and metaphysics.
