 * This job is PERFECT for you if your life dream has been to work for the KOCH brothers.

 * Have to emphasize the above statement. The innocuously named Center for Political Thought and Leadership is intended to be a conservative institution allied with city and state-wide conservative political and business interests. The chair of the search, Critchlow is an avowed right-wing historian: https://shprs.clas.asu.edu/people/donald-critchlow . This is just a quick FYI for those who do not take right-wing approaches to studies of political economy.
