In 1906 he became a professor at the Department of Mining Art at the Mining Institute. He developed special courses for mine ventilation , underground fires , underground rescue, mine construction and route support . He set up two laboratories for mine ventilation and rescue. He was a member of various commissions set up by the government's mountain department. In 1908 he took part in the first international congress for rescue services in Frankfurt am Main . At the II.

There, in 1932, his basic course on the mine atmosphere with Atlas was published. This book was constantly expanded and became part of the textbook on mine ventilation by Skochinsky and WB Komarov, which appeared in 1949. In 1934 Skotschinsky received his doctorate in technical sciences . In 1935 he was elected a full member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR, since 1991 Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)), Vice- Secretary of the Technical Sciences Department of the AN-SSSR and Chairman of the Mining Group (Vice-Chairman Alexander Mitrofanovich Terpigorev ) and sent to the Congrès Internationale des Mines, de la Métallurgie, et de la Géologie Appliquée in 1935 in Paris .

In 1938 Skotschinsky became director of the new institute for mining affairs of the AN-SSSR in Lyubertsy (IGD) formed from the mining group , which now bears Skotschinski's name. During the German-Soviet War , he traveled to the North and South Urals, the Kuzbass and Karaganda and, together with mining engineers, developed programs to increase coal and ore extraction in the Urals and Kazakhstan, as well as to increase the extraction of aluminum and rare metals . He then headed a group of scientists for the restoration of the mines and pits in the Donbass and Moscow lignite regions.

Skochinsky was buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery.

Skochinski's name bears one of the world's deepest coal mines in Donetsk . On the 100th birthday of Skochinski, the Ministry of the Coal Industry of the USSR and the Scientific and Technical Society of Specialists in the Mining Industry donated the Academician A. A. Skotschinsky Prize.
