He went on to receive a Master of Arts degree from Brown University in 1990, and then a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the same institution in 1992, where he worked with Jaegwon Kim and Roderick Chisholm. He taught at the University of Notre Dame and Syracuse University prior to joining Rutgers University, where he is also now Director of the Rutgers Center for the Philosophy of Religion. Zimmerman is an influential figure in contemporary metaphysics, and has worked on issues in the philosophy of time, personhood and material constitution, and the metaphysics of mind.
