According to the official website of the United Nations, http:/www.un.org/sg/sgrole.shtml there is apparently no set term of service. The average is eight years for the 7 former Secretarys-General. The Current Secretary-General is Mr. Ban Ki-moon of Korea who has served since 2007.
"Under the Charter, the Secretary-General is appointed by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council. Mr. Ban's predecessors as Secretary-General were: Kofi Annan (Ghana) who held office from January 1997 to December 2006 (9 years); Boutros Boutros-Ghali (Egypt), who held office from January 1992 to December 1996 (4 years); Javier Pèrez de Cuèllar (Peru), who served from January 1982 to December 1991(9 years); Kurt Waldheim (Austria), who held office from January 1972 to December 1981 ((9 years); U Thant (Burma, now Myanmar), who served from November 1961, when he was appointed acting Secretary-General (he was formally appointed Secretary-General in November 1962) to December 1971 (10 years); Dag Hammarskjöld (Sweden), who served from April 1953 until his death in a plane crash in Africa in September 1961 (8 years); and Trygve Lie (Norway), who held office from February 1946 to his resignation in November 1952 (6 years)." Italics regarding total number of years each previous Secretary General served are mine.
