The University of Oklahoma seeks a Director for the Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (IPPRA) to provide strategic leadership for an interdisciplinary research hub. This role involves guiding the institute's evolution from a single-campus entity into a multi-campus enterprise spanning Norman, the Health Sciences Center, and Tulsa. Key responsibilities include developing a long-term research agenda focused on energy, national security, health, and climate resilience, while expanding the externally funded research portfolio through federal, state, and industry partnerships. The position requires fostering deep collaboration between social sciences and engineering to translate policy insights into real-world impact. This opportunity appeals to scholars who value a collaborative culture, the chance to shape a growing national research center, and the ability to drive meaningful societal change through data-driven policy analysis.
