 While his first position was at Queen’s College in New York, Davidson spent much of the early part of his career (1951–1967) at Stanford University. He subsequently held positions at Princeton (1967–1970), Rockefeller (1970–1976), and the University of Chicago (1976–1981). From 1981 until his death he worked at the University of California, Berkeley. Davidson was the recipient of a number of awards and fellowships and was a visitor at many universities around the world. Davidson was married three times, with his third marriage, in 1984, being to Marcia Cavell, who undertook the editing of Davidson’s posthumously published essays.
