John Hawthorne, Waynflete Professor of Metaphysical Philosophy at Oxford, who is well-known for many contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, and the history of early modern philosophy, has concluded his half-time appointment at Rutgers, and will now move to a roughly quarter-time U.S. appointment at Princeton.  Daniel Garber, Chair of the Department at Princeton, writes:

I am very pleased to announce that John Hawthorne (University of Oxford) has accepted an offer to be a regular visitor in the Department of Philosophy at Princeton University for the next five years. Beginning in spring 2009, he will come for six weeks in the spring, and teach a course and a half, as well as work with graduate students.

UPDATE:  Just to be clear:  Hawthorne will be full-time at Oxford; the Oxford academic calendar, as many readers will know, has long breaks (about six weeks) between terms, and it is during one of these breaks that Professor Hawthorne will be in the US and working at Princeton.
