"There are some recent PhDs working on this, check proquest for the dissertations." Yes, but this is for a tenured position.
Check the minimum qualifications, what will they do if no tenured prof goes to bat?

Not hire, duh.

Post If a donor approached our department with the idea of creating this chair, I am confident that my R1 department would refuse it and would do so with gusto. Departments have to have some level of self-respect. Just because someone wants to donate money to create a chair doesn't mean that it is a good idea. Hiring the best Kurdish politics scholar is a ticket for diminishing the overall quality of a department. It is hard enough to find strong Middle East scholars to hire, and the pool of high-quality scholars focusing on Kurdish politics is terribly small (and possibly nonexistent).
