He became faculty member at
Rutgers University and later joined the Department of Philosophy of Rutger University's
School of Arts and Sciences in 1988.[2] On 14 September 1996, Robert Weingard died of a heart attack;[2][3] some of his articles were published posthumously.
Weingard supervised the PhD thesis Explaining Time's Arrow (1997) of
Craig Callender, now professor of philosophy at the
University of California, San Diego.[4] He also supervised the PhD thesis of Nick Huggett, now an LAS Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at University of Illinois, Chicago (1995).
