Wilson from CUNY Grad Center to Aberdeen

Catherine Wilson (early modern philosophy, ethics), Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, will take up the post of Professor of Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen, effective, July 1, 2009, where she will join, among others, Stephen Gaukroger (early modern), who is now half-time at Aberdeen (he also continues to hold a post at the University of Sydney).  Additional appointments are planned, and when the postgraduate programs are reopened for admissions, Aberdeen will clearly be a very attractive destination for students interested in the history of modern philosophy.

UPDATE:  I am told that Aberdeen will be accepting PhD applicants for 2009.
