| Summary: | The working conditions of young researchers of the study of religions have not been studied in depth. In order to fill up this gap, the working group of young researchers within the German association for the study of religions carried out a survey in summer 2015. Based on the survey results this paper describes the working conditions and their effects on the professional perspectives and the individual life situations of the group in question. After presenting such findings, we conclude with an outlook and with several suggestions in regard to the possible future design of the work in the study of religions in the context of research institutions, and especially at universities in Germany, focussing specifically on appreciation of work, pressure within the relation to supervisors, discrimination, workload and the opportunity of ongoing scientific qualification.
