About the Institute
The University of Oklahoma seeks an innovative and collaborative scholar to serve as Director of the Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (IPPRA). Originally established with a Norman campus focus, IPPRA is positioned to evolve into a multi-campus enterprise that brings public policy scholarship to bear on the University's highest-priority impact areas while creating pathways that move knowledge and insight out of the university and into real-world application.
The next Director will position and plan for this evolution, developing a clear pathway to expand IPPRA's reach and partnerships across the Health Sciences Center and the Tulsa campus while maintaining the flexibility to grow into new areas as opportunities emerge. The Director will provide intellectual and strategic leadership for an institute that integrates interdisciplinary policy analysis with scientific and technical research to address complex societal challenges.
