CAMS is a university-wide entity. It is managed by a Director, appointed as a full-time faculty member, who works in consultation with an International Advisory Committee and the appropriate University administrators. CAMS is staffed by permanent faculty, visiting scholars, research associates, associates from different universities in Lebanon and the region, an assistant to the Director, and a computer system administrator.

Permanent faculty members of the Center, designated as Senior Fellows, also serve as regular faculty in various departments and schools within the University. As such, they have all the duties, privileges and responsibilities of full-time faculty. They teach graduate and advanced undergraduate courses and guide graduate students toward doctoral degrees in their various disciplines.

Visiting scholars are appointed for a limited period of time without being regular full-time faculty at the University. Their main duty is research in their respective fields. Courtesy appointments may be extended to them in appropriate departments, and they may be assigned part-time teaching duties.

Research associates are normally appointed for a period of two years.

Associates (faculty and researchers from other universities) are appointed for various periods of time.

The assistant to the Director helps with the smooth running of the daily affairs of the Center.

The system administrator monitors all the computer operations at the Center.
