Jonathan Schaffer (PhD, Rutgers University), currently at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, has accepted a permanent research position at the Australian National University. Despite being a 1999 Phd, Schaffer is the author of 33 articles, 27 of which have appeared in refereed journals (including two in the Philosophical Review, two in The Journal of Philosophy, and one in Nous), generally on topics in the center of either Metaphysics or Epistemology. In my opinion, he is one of philosophy’s most creative and interesting younger figures, so this is a great addition to an already exemplary young department.
