ISSP currently consists of four Research Divisions, two Research Groups and five Research Facilities. Among these, the Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory advances research at the three sites: Kashiwa, Harima (in SPring-8), and Sendai (in NanoTerasu). The Neutron Science Laboratory maintains spectrometers at the research reactor JRR-3 of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency and at MLF, J-PARC in Ibaraki.

Apart from the Research Divisions and Facilities, supporting facilities that include the Laboratory of Nanoscale Quantum Materials, the Cryogenic Service Laboratory, the Machine Shop, the Radiation Safety Laboratory, the Library, and the International Liaison Office, provide services to both in-house and outside users. The Public Relations Office provides information on ISSP activities, and the Information Technology Office handles network-related matters. Counseling Services are also available to students, faculty, and staff for brief counseling and referral services.

Personnel, Number of Faculty and Staff

ISSP openly recruits all positions for professors, associate professors, and research associates. ISSP`s hiring of professors and associate professors is decided by Faculty Meeting. Prior to the Faculty Meeting, the Personnel Selection Council, (composed of nearly equal number of members from inside and outside of ISSP), reviews all candidates. All final hiring decisions of research associates positions are also decided by Faculty Meeting. Prior to the Faculty Meeting, the Personnel Selection Council makes recommendations after reviewing candidates provided by a selection committee.
