The contradictions inherent in the corporate status of a university scientist are being studied. In higher education institutions, employees who are intensively engaged in scientific work make up about a fifth of the teaching staff. The situational study conducted by the author showed that, expressing its attitude towards scientists in its environment, the scientific and educational community is more focused on conditional corporate principles than on encouraging scientific achievements, despite the fact that the latter are important indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of the university. It was found that this trend manifests itself more clearly in humanitarian and pedagogical universities (in comparison with classical and technical universities). At the same time, the visible differences between the capitals and the regions are not recorded. The line between the ethos of science and the corporate culture of the scientific and educational community is revealed. Under these conditions, the ambivalence inherent in the ethos of science (R. Merton) acquires new characteristics. Two main contradictions are highlighted. Firstly, despite the fact that science and education form an external integrity within the same corporate culture, they often find themselves opposed to each other within the community. Secondly, within the corporate scientific and educational culture, a scientist, being at the same time a teacher, is subject to an internal professional and role conflict between belonging to a group (the majority of whose members are not engaged in science) and scientific self-realization.
