The University of Oklahoma (OU) invites nominations and applications for an innovative and visionary leader as Dean of the Gallogly College of Engineering (GCoE). The University of Oklahoma is one of the premier, comprehensive, public, R1 research universities in the nation. The next Dean will have the truly unique opportunity to lead an established College through a phase of rapid investment and growth.

The University seeks an inspiring leader who can help to craft and execute a grand vision for Engineering at OU.

OU is a thriving institution, proud of its public mission and eager to continue its ascent up the ranks of excellence. With the opening of the new Gallogly Hall in Fall 2019, the College is entering a new phase of intense and ambitious development.
