About Emeritus Professors
The title of Emeritus Professor may be conferred on a retiring Professor of the University in recognition of sustained outstanding service at the University of Sydney. Although an Emeritus Professor may continue to serve the University after retirement, the title is awarded in recognition of a past record of distinguished service and not with the requirement or expectation of future service to the University.
Unless there are exceptional circumstances, the title is conferred only on Professors who are retiring.
Senate has delegated to the Chair Appointments Committee authority to approve the award of the title of Emeritus Professor.
The title was first awarded in 1905.
While the formal title of the award is either 'Professor Emeritus' or 'Professor Emerita' depending on the gender of the recipient, female (and male) recipients are entitled to style themselves 'Emeritus Professor'. The formal plural is 'Professors Emeriti'.
