Decisions on the dual submissions from the Texas Finance Festival have all been sent. If you have not heard from us please let us know. Further evidence that batch processing emails can be dangerous: The letters declining to go forward with the dual review process included the name of the wrong conference in the body. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused. However, to reiterate the most important point of the letter: No paper submitted as a dual submission from the Texas Finance Festival has been rejected by the RFS. Authors can and should feel free to submit their papers under the standard submission process.

The RFS would like to wish Christopher Schwarz, the current holder of our post-doctoral position, great success in his new role as a ladder rank member of the U.C. Irvine faculty. He has done a wonderful job over the past year and we will be sad to see him go. This means the RFS post-doctoral position is available for the next academic year. Job responsibilities include recommending referees, and ensuring that all formatting guidelines are met prior to processing submissions. The person filling the position can hold it for up to two years. If you are interested in the position or know somebody that is please have them contact Matthew Spiegel for additional details.
