It's a life long position. The only way to sit on US Supreme Court (also known as the Court of Last Resort) is to be appointed by a president.
By the way, The US Supreme Court only hears about 10% of all cases they get.

All justices have a life term so that they may stay independent from the other branches of government and hence interpret the law without outside intervention.
