Abstract: In the context of budgetary constraints imposed on the financing of educational institutions, as well as the optimization of expenses, including those on teachers' salaries, the number of positions allocated for the implementation of the educational process is limited and often even reduced, compared to previous periods. The article proposes a method for distributing a limited number of academic positions of the university's teaching staff between departments based on the criterion of "contact work" or the labor intensity of implementing types of academic workload in educational programs. The projected student enrollment for the planned academic year is taken into account, based on the retention rate of the incoming student body and the projected student enrollment for the upcoming academic year. Based on the "contact work" across the curriculum disciplines and the projected student enrollment, we have calculated the share of each department's participation in the implementation of academic activities. To formalize the process under consideration, we describe an economic-mathematical model, containing the basic calculation relationships. An algorithm has been constructed in the form of a flowchart reflecting the calculation sequence, and a functional model has been developed to visually represent the structure of the process under consideration. This formal representation, including the main components for software development, will allow for the automation of the process of distributing teaching positions among departments.
