ASSEF Safety Research Fellowships

Fellowships Encourage Safety Research

The American Society of Safety Engineers Foundation (ASSEF) and the Liberty Mutual Research Institute sponsor an annual Safety Research Fellowship.  The fellowship encourages safety research activity and provides a forum for linking safety professionals, industry needs, and quality research programs.

Selected fellows work with Institute researchers at the Hopkinton facility for four to six weeks.  ASSEF provides a stipend, while the Institute provides reasonable access to current research projects, databases, equipment, researchers, and other necessary resources.  Research must result in publication. 

Applicants must be United States citizens, or permanent residents, and possess a Ph.D. degree, or be working towards a masters or Ph.D. For more information and to obtain an application, visit the Research Programs section on the ASSEF website.
