上海纽约大学教务长衞周安表示，2018至2019学年，来自世界各地的40多位教师加入上海纽约大学，学校师资力量进一步扩大。自2014年以来，上海纽约大学的全职教师从102人增至178人，来自全球20多个国家。
新加入的教师包括11名长聘职位教师（tenured ）和预聘职位教师（tenure-track），覆盖城市设计、工程学、管理学等9个学科领域，以及19名客座教授和14名全职合同制教师。
“每一学年，上海纽约大学的教师队伍不仅在规模上有所扩大，更在学术力量上逐步增强，”衞周安教务长说，“特别是今年，很高兴能有如此强大的师资力量加入我们，共同为将上海纽约大学建设成具备世界一流科研与教学水平的研究型大学而努力。期待在新一学年里，能和这些优秀的教师共事。”
“很高兴能和来自世界各地的老师、学生一同工作，上纽大的多元文化环境将促进不同文化背景的人进行有意义的、深入的沟通，”上海纽约大学教师教学发展中心的首任主任Jace Hargis说。他表示，在上海探索全新的高等教育模式，将对全球范围的高等教育具有深远意义。
曾就职于马克思·普朗克科学史研究所的赵璐，加入上海纽约大学担任全球中国学助理教授，他说，上海纽约大学与纽约大学全球教育体系间的紧密联系，是吸引他加入这个大家庭的主要原因。
还有一些教师被上海所吸引，并将城市作为自己的研究课题：“上海纽约大学不仅提供了丰富的研究和教学资源，”毕业于西北大学凯洛格商学院的新任管理学助理教授Julia Hur说，“这座城市也是研究全球公司和组织的一个极具吸引力的地方。”
