MOVING TO FRONT FROM JUNE 1, 2015–UPDATED BELOW

Mathias Frisch, a philosopher of science and physics at the University of Maryland, College Park, has been offered a Chair at the Leibniz University in Hannover, Germany, which has a large group of philosophers of science already.  Germany academia has become a much more attractive place to work (no doubt due to government investment in higher education) over the last twenty years, so much so that we have seen a number of senior figures–Stephann Hartmann, Hannes Leitgeb, Michael Forster, among others–leave top British and American universities (or turn down offers from top British and American universities) in order to take up posts in Germany.

UPDATE:  Frisch has accepted the offer, and will start in Spring 2016 at Hannover.
