I'm extremely pleased to announce that I've just unofficially accepted a tenure-track position at Texas Tech. Tech has a great group of people and a strong MA program--which, I've always argued, should be the wave of the future in philosophy. We're currently advertising another position as well--I hope this announcement will help rather than hurt recruiting!
[Post title almost was: "Hey, what's up, Knight?"]

Posted by: ben wolfson at April 6, 2005 06:40 PMYay! (Even though part of me was selfishly hoping you'd be forced to stay here next year...)
Posted by: Ted H. at April 6, 2005 06:45 PMCongratulations, Matt! Best of luck in Lubbock.

Posted by: bitchphd at April 6, 2005 10:31 PMGreat news, congratulations.
If you do manage to say that to Knight, drinks are on me for a year.
Posted by: ogged at April 6, 2005 11:54 PMCongratulations, Matt; that's great news.
Posted by: Gillian Russell at April 7, 2005 12:11 AMMatt, congratulations! It's too bad that you're leaving the Great State of Wisconsin, but there seems to be a lot of Wisconsinites down there right now, so you'll have company.
Posted by: Jeff at April 7, 2005 07:08 AMExcellent news!
Posted by: Aaron at April 7, 2005 08:05 AMMatt:
Are the abusive powers of professors transitive? Now that you've accepted this tenure track job (congrats again), and assuming Wolfson decides to enter a PhD program, will you be able to abuse him for kicks even if he's not at TT?
Posted by: SomeCallMeTim at April 7, 2005 08:14 AMThanks everybody!
Ogged--Knight is 0-1 against philsophers, so I ain't scared.
SCMT--I like to think I can abuse Wolfson for kicks anyway....
Posted by: Matt Weiner at April 7, 2005 09:51 AMGlad to hear this good news. Congratulations!
Posted by: Anders Weinstein at April 7, 2005 11:57 AMCongratulations Matt! That's terrific! Congratulations on the Phil Review paper also! Only what you deserve...

Posted by: Diana Buccafurni at April 7, 2005 01:28 PMHey Matt:
Congratulations!! Great News! This is my first comment on any Blog, but it seemed a worthy occasion to try. (How'd I do?).
Posted by: Wayne Wu at April 7, 2005 08:59 PMit's about time...did you jump up and down? I will do it for you since i know you won't. ..I am jumping.
Posted by: pep at April 8, 2005 03:43 AMCongratulations again!
If philosophers get to take a 2-0 lead over Knight, I'll be very very happy :)
