her/his discipline at SFU and increase its profile within the broader academic com-
munity. S/he will engage in research in History, conceived inclusively to include both

The term of this appointment is 5 years, renewable once to a maximum of 10

Relevant Policy: A10.06. Appointment and renewal to the Farley Professorship

renewal procedures of Policy A 10.06. In unusual circumstances, external
candidates may be considered. Note: the six letters of reference must be external

In the event that circumstances make the specified use of the Endowment Fund no
longer practicable or desirable, the Board of Governors of Simon Fraser
University is hereby authorized to make any changes it may deem necessary in the
terms or use of the Endowment Fund. Such changes, however, are to be in
keeping as far as possible with the original spirit and general intent of the
Endowment Fund. This agreement may be amended by mutual consent of the
donors and the University.
