NBER: New FRF and RA
Subject: New FRF and RA

Dear AP members:
It's that time of year. We get to appoint 2 FRF (nontenured) and maybe 2 RA
(tenured) to the asset pricing program. I also can recommend that current
FRF's who have tenure be promoted to RA. That's not automatic; the bureau
wants to see good performance (attending meetings, sending in working
papers, running meetings, applying for grants) too. Also promoting more
counts a bit against the budget constraint for new appointments.
We're not only looking for prominent people who do good work of interest to
the AP group; we're also looking for people who will be active, come to
meetings, and participate.
You may have gotten an email from the bureau, and I will get all those
recommendations. But I'm interested in hearing your opinions directly and
informally too. In particular, I'm not very good at keeping track of who got
tenure last year and so is eligible for new RA appointment or RA promotion.
Let me know your suggestions. If the decision isn't easy, I may bother you
later with a "finalist" list.
Thanks
John
