Fellow is the highest recognition bestowed by the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. Annually, the Fellows Selection Committee invites applications to join the College of Fellows and be designated FHFES. Election to the College of Fellows is an honor conferred by distinguished colleagues to recognize outstanding achievement, consistently superior professional performance, exceptional contributions, personal service to the Society, and other meritorious accomplishments by Society members.
A nominee for election to Fellow status shall be a Full Member currently in good standing for at least the five preceding years. Any Full member of the Society in good standing may apply on their own behalf or they may submit an application on behalf of another. Self-nominators should collect the letters of support and submit them with their application. Self-nominators may wish, at their discretion, to solicit a nominator.
HFES is now accepting applications for the 2025 Fellow Program until Friday, February 28, 2025. Please review the materials below and submit your completed application packet before the deadline.
