“…Working in the biosciences nowadays means to be dependent on short-term contracts and funding possibilities based on competitive allocation (Slaughter and Leslie 1999;Hackett 1990). These circumstances create precarious environments for scientists (Laufenberg et al 2018) who must then deploy coping strategies in order to manoeuvre insecurities and become a part of the exceedingly small number of scientists who make it to a stable job (Sigl 2016). At the same time, formal demands increasingly frame these work environments.…”

As part of their socialization, scientists acquire the skills and know-how of the job and become part of a scientific community, its norms and values. Becoming part of a scientific community also involves that scientists adapt to its emotional culture. Emotional relationships, specifically the concept of passionate work, represent important repertoires in and for academia especially considering academic identities. In light of precarious employments and unstable academic futures, the researchers emotional relationships with their profession are tenuous. I accordingly ask: what role does passion have in scientists’ narrations of work experiences? And how does this play out in researchers’ identities? Based on interviews with biologists, I analyse how the scientists narrate passionate tales and explore how they recount their past and how they imagine a future generation of scientists. Specifically, I analyse the scientists’ stories of the past as productive for a particular rationale and storyline of their identity bringing forth qualities of a passionatescientist. These tales not only represent individual experiences but show how an emotional relationship to the science profession provides an exclusive belonging and serves to create and maintain a powerful disciplinary ideal. Consequently, I provide a jigsaw piece for understanding further how scientists build their identities and how these identities mirror today’s science cultures.
