Michigan has made a tenured offer to Hans Halvorson (philosophy of physics), currently an assistant professor at Princeton. There is not likely to be a decision before the new PGR surveys, but it would be worthwhile for students interested in philosophy of physics to keep an eye on this. With van Fraassen at Princeton on phased retirement, Halvorson’s departure would make Princeton a problematic choice for students with interests in that field–though bear in mind that Tim Maudlin (philosophy of physics, philosophy of science, metaphysics) at Rutgers may still make the move to Princeton (that is also still “up in the air”).

CORRECTION: Adam Elga, also an assistant professor at Princeton, works in philosophy of physics as well, among other areas.
