MOVING TO FRONT FROM MAY 4--SEE UPDATE
The City University of New York Graduate Center has offered a Distinguished Professorship and the Kornblith Family Chair in the Philosophy of Science and Value to Stephen Neale (philosophy of language, philosophical logic) at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. Two other Rutgers faculty are currently entertaining senior offers: Ted Sider (metaphysics) from New York University, Princeton University, and Yale University; and Dean Zimmerman (metaphysics, philosophy of religion) from Princeton University.
UPDATE: Professor Neale has accepted the Kornblith Chair at the CUNY Graduate Center. That's a very major appointment for CUNY--with Michael Devitt and Saul Kripke, among others, already there, CUNY is going to be one of the very top choices for students in philosophy of language.
ONE MORE: A reader points out that Saul Kripke, according to the CUNY homepage, has not supervised any PhD students there, and he supervised relatively few during his many years at Princeton. But he is offering regular seminars. Prospective students should, as always, talk to current students at the programs they are considering to find out about faculty accessibility and related issues.
