He was a visiting scientist to Princeton University from 1991 to 1993, and a research associate for the University of Washington from 1993 to 1994.

Xie had been employed at the University of Hawaiʻi as a professor of meteorology until he joined the Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California, San Diego in 2012 as the inaugural Roger Revelle Chair,{{Efn|In full: Roger Revelle Chair in Environmental Science}}{{Cite web |last=Monroe |first=Robert |date=2012-05-03 |title=First Roger Revelle Chair to Join Scripps |url=https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/first-roger-revelle-chair-join-scripps |access-date=2023-12-24 |website= |publisher=Scripps Institution of Oceanography |language=en}} a title named for pioneering researcher Roger Revelle,{{Cite web |last=Robbins |first=Gary |date=2012-05-04 |title=SIO recruits a top climate scientist |url=https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/science/sdut-sio-recruits-top-climate-scientist-2012may03-story.html |access-date=2023-12-24 |website=San Diego Union-Tribune |language=en-US}} established with an endowment from the Revelle family.{{Cite web |date=2007-05-22 |title=Scripps gets $2.5 million gift |url=https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-scripps-gets-25-million-gift-2007may22-story.html |access-date=2023-12-24 |website=San Diego Union-Tribune |language=en-US}} While at Hawaiʻi, he was faculty in the International Pacific Research Center of the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology.{{Cite web |title=Shang-Ping Xie |url=https://iprc.soest.hawaii.edu/people/xie.php |access-date=2023-12-24 |website= |publisher=International Pacific Research Center |language=en}}

In April 2016, as a Scripps professor, Xie returned to the University of Washington as an endowed lecturer—he gave a lecture on El Niño in the Graduate Students' Distinguished Visiting Lecture series.{{Cite web |title=Graduate Students' Distinguished Visiting Lecture |url=https://atmos.uw.edu/news-and-events/endowed-lectures/other-public-lectures-gsdvl/ |access-date=2023-12-26 |website= |publisher=Department of Atmospheric Sciences (University of Washington) |language=en-US}}

In 2013, a study co-authored by Xie and published in Nature suggested that the slowdown in global warming was tied to cooling in parts of the Pacific Ocean.{{Cite journal |last1=Kosaka |first1=Yu |last2=Xie |first2=Shang-Ping |date=28 August 2013 |orig-date=September 19 issue date |title=Recent global-warming hiatus tied to equatorial Pacific surface cooling |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12534 |journal=Nature |language=en |volume=501 |issue=7467 |pages=403–407 |doi=10.1038/nature12534 |pmid=23995690 |bibcode=2013Natur.501..403K |issn=1476-4687|hdl=10125/33072 |hdl-access=free }}Multiple news sources:
