In addition to his position at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Derrida also teachs one quarter per year at the University of California at Irvine, affiliated I believe with the Departments of French and Comparative Literature. Lyotard no longer teachs at Vincennes, which has been closed for several years. He is emeritus professor at the Universite de Paris--Saint Denis (I'm not entirely certain he taught at Saint Denis, although I am sure he is Emeritus) and he also teachs one semester each year at Emory University in Atlanta.
