Here he became the organizer of the Vladikavkaz Polytechnic Institute , where he taught a course in mechanics and was soon elected rector. In 1922, Joseph Gavrilovich arrived in Baku , where he was invited to the post of professor at the Azerbaijan Polytechnic Institute (in 1928 he became the head of the institute). In 1925, he simultaneously worked at the Tiflis Polytechnic Institute , where he founded the department of hydraulics and hydraulic structures. In 1927, he also worked as a professor at Tiflis State University, and in 1930, as a professor of hydraulics at the Transcaucasian Institute of Transportation Engineers. From 1930 he also worked as a consultant for the Transcaucasian Research Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Energy. C 1935 - Deputy Director for Research of the Transcaucasian Institute of Sanitary Engineering.

In 1945, IG Esman was elected a full member of the Academy of Sciences of the Azerbaijan SSR .

He died on July 1, 1955 in Baku. The name of the scientist in 1943 was given to the Institute of Energy of the Academy of Sciences of the Azerbaijan SSR. ^[3]
