Hannes Leitgeb, a logician at the University of Salzburg, has accepted a Readership at the University of Bristol in the U.K.

Oxford logician Volker Halbach, who notified me of this move–and who himself moved from Konstanz to Oxford last year–observed that, "You recently claimed that no other country has suffered a brain drain like the United Kingdom. But the number of philosophers leaving the German-speaking countries is also amazing."

UPDATE:  Professor Leitgeb writes:  "Concerning your post on my moving to Bristol and on the question of brain drain: I would like to add that I have turned down an offer from Stanford to have a tenure-track position as an Associate Professor with early possibilities for tenure. I agree with Volker Halbach that the brain drain in Germany and Austria is already dramatic. It is interesting to observe that many young philosophers from the German-speaking world are currently attracted by the UK rather than by the US."
