A brief description or a copy of the institution’s policy regarding interdisciplinary research:
Since 2007 the campus has included "cluster hiring" as a regular part of its faculty hiring practices. These purpose of these is to hire faculty positions across academic departments for emerging, interdisciplinary opportunities. Cluster hires were part of the "Amherst 250 Plan" to support strategic faculty hires that will help maintain the campus as a nationally competitive public research university. Additionally, academic units across campus assess interdisciplinary research for tenure and promotion individually.
