This is based on our earlier listing; the ten U.S. PhD programs with the most graduates in (untenured) tenure-track positions (as of 2010-11) in top 20 U.S. departments are:
1. New York University (13)
2. Rutgers University, New Brunswick (8)
3. Massachussetts Institute of Technology (6)
3. Princeton University (6)
5. Yale University (3)
6. Columbia University (2)
6. Harvard University (2)
6. University of California, Berkeley (2)
6. University of California, Los Angeles (2)
6. University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (2)
6. University of Pittsburgh (2)
The two programs that notably outperform their overall PGR rank circa a decade ago (when most of those currently in tenure-track jobs were choosing where to go to grad school) are MIT and Yale--but in both cases, the successful students are in the areas where both MIT and Yale were, and are, among the very top programs (roughly, metaphysics, philosophy of language and mind for MIT, and history of modern philosophy for Yale).
Of course, the 'top 20' as of 2009 is a somewhat artifical cutoff. If you add UC San Diego and U Chicago (both just on the cusp of the top 20 in the last survey), then Berkeley's total rises to 3, Pitt then has 6, Rutgers goes to 9, and Texas has 2 (one at Chicagon, one at NYU). Several others, of course, have 1, including Chicago, UC Irvine, Oklahoma, and Duke, among others.
