Berkeley Makes Bid for Hitchcock

The Department of Philosophy at the University of California at Berkeley has made a senior offer to the very talented young philosopher of science Christopher Hitchcock at California Institute of Technology, who is perhaps best-known for his work on causation.  (An interesting side-note, confirming Rice's good eye for philosophical talent:  Hitchcock started his teaching career at Rice University; when he left for Cal Tech, Rice hired Sherrilyn Roush, a philosopher of science whom Berkeley has since hired.)
