There is a crisis of valuation practices in the current academic life sciences,
triggered by unsustainable growth and "hyper-competition." Quantitative metrics
in evaluating researchers are seen as replacing deeper considerations of the
quality and novelty of work, as well as substantive care for the societal
implications of research. Junior researchers are frequently mentioned as those
most strongly affected by these dynamics. However, their own perceptions of these
issues are much less frequently considered. This paper aims at contributing to a
better understanding of the interplay between how research is valued and how
young researchers learn to live, work and produce knowledge within academia. We
thus analyze how PhD students and postdocs in the Austrian life sciences ascribe
worth to people, objects and practices as they talk about their own present and
future lives in research. We draw on literature from the field of valuation
studies and its interest in how actors refer to different forms of valuation to
account for their actions. We explore how young researchers are socialized into
different valuation practices in different stages of their growing into science.
Introducing the concept of "regimes of valuation" we show that PhD students
relate to a wider evaluative repertoire while postdocs base their decisions on
one dominant regime of valuing research. In conclusion, we discuss the
implications of these findings for the epistemic and social development of the
life sciences, and for other scientific fields.
