MOVING TO FRONT FROM APRIL 7: I believe all the typos and errors of omission have been fixed. Thanks to many readers for all the help.
I've listed below graduates of leading American PhD programs who are now teaching at one of "the top 20" U.S. programs in the 2009 PGR. Only PhD programs with placements in multiple top 20 departments are listed. Untenured faculty are marked with an asterisk. The list is for 2010-11. Kripke and Martin don't technically have PhDs, but did their graduate work at Harvard.
The PhD programs are listed roughly in order of their most recent PGR rank.
