Former SIU Carbondale Provost John Nicklow will take a similar position at the University of New Orleans.
According to a release from the University of New Orleans, Nicklow is expected to begin his new duties in the spring of 2015.
University of Louisiana's Board of Supervisors must still approve the hire, but UNO President Peter Fos says he's pleased to welcome Nicklow to the campus, and impressed by his accomplishments in Carbondale.
Nicklow served as Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost at SIUC for three years, before he was reassigned back to the College of Engineering earlier this year.
Nicklow has been in Carbondale since 1998.
