"Look forward to hearing from you" is the proper phrase because "hearing" is a gerund in this context, acting as a noun. It is used to express anticipation and expectation of receiving a response in communication.

I assume you mean in a cover letter... You can close with several different options "I look forward to hearing from you" "I look forward to working with you" ...or you can be a little bold "I look forward to hearing from you. If I do not hear something from you by XX date then I will call to set up an interview" I heard of one person who wrote her cover letter to the employer and stated she understood that he was very busy and that if he would allow she would be happy to come in and take care of all the interviews for him! A little humor might just buy you the job!
