Abstract: The urgency of the problem of the formation of the teaching staff of higher education organizations is determined by the need to provide the regions with highly qualified specialists for the economy, public administration and other spheres. At the same time, regional peculiarities of the personnel potential of higher education have not been sufficiently reflected in domestic studies. The aim of the study was to evaluate the indicators characterizing the presence and structure of the teaching staff of higher educational institutions in the regions of Russia. In the course of the study, the distribution of indicators such as the number of teachers per thousand inhabitants, the specific weights of teachers with academic degrees, as well as the number of teachers per one hundred students was simulated. The simulation was based on the development of density functions of the normal distribution. Information from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia, as well as official statistical data, was used as initial empirical data. The study showed that, on average, a little more than one teacher worked in higher education organizations per thousand residents. It is proved that on average every seventh teacher had a PhD degree, and two thirds of all teachers had a PhD degree. It is shown that there were five teachers for one hundred students. Further research may be related to the use of the proposed methodology to assess the gender structure of the staff of higher education institutions in the regions of Russia.
