Ned Markosian, currently professor of philosophy at Western Washington University (current website, Academia.edu page), has accepted an offer as professor of philosophy at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, effective Fall 2015. Professor Markosian received his PhD from UMass, Amherst. He works primarily in metaphysics.

(No word yet on whether the Bellingham Summer Philosophy Conference, which Professor Markosian organizes, is continuing. Stay tuned.)

UPDATE: The 2015 BSPC will be the last, I am informed. There may be something similar to it started at UMass.
