Elizabeth Barnes and Ross Cameron, both Associate Professors of Philosophy at the University of Leeds, and both leading young figures in metaphysics, have accepted tenured offers from the Department of Philosophy at the University of Virginia, where they will start this fall.  That's a big investment in metaphysics for UVA and, given its existing strengths, will likely push UVA into the U.S. "top ten" in metaphysics, among other areas. 

UPDATE:  UVA has also appointed, with tenure, Walter Ott (early modern philosophy), who is currently Associate Professor of Philosophy at Virginia Tech.  He will join several other faculty at UVA who work primarily or partly in early modern philosophy.
