[via The Philosophical Gourmet, more precisely their Update E-Mail Service]
Anthony Gillies (epistemology, decision theory, philosophy of language), currently tenure-track at the University of Texas at Austin, has accepted a tenure-track offer from Harvard University. Gillies earned his Ph.D. from the University of Arizona.
That’s good news for the Metro Boston language science community. I met Thony a while back when he sat in on a course on conditionals I taught at ESSLI 1999. We met again when I came to Tucson for a colloquium talk. I look forward to him being in Cambridge. (He also likes soccer!)
In linguistics, we have nothing like the Philosophical Gourmet. There is not even an (un)official job gossip service. I myself am spectacularly out of the loop on such matters. Here’s what I know, or rather what I think I know, about semantics jobs this year (in alphabetical order):
- Ana Arregui, finishing at UMass Amherst, has accepted a tenure-track offer from the University of Ottawa. [Thanks to Luis Alonso-Ovalle, cf. the comments to this post.]
- Elena Guerzoni, finishing at MIT, has accepted a tenure-track offer from USC.
- Michela Ippolito, recent PhD from MIT, currently post-doc at Tübingen, has accepted a visiting position at UC Santa Cruz.
- Chris Potts, finishing at UC Santa Cruz, has accepted a tenure-track offer from UMass Amherst.
If anyone knows more, perhaps you could post a comment, which I will then incorporate in an update of this post.
