English grammar!!!

"We feel the need to find ways in which to be part of the group without selling out our privacy or our individualiy for a mess of adjustment"

In this sentence, is it right to use "to be~" right after "in which" ?
Doesn't a sentence(subject, verb) have to come after "in which", instead of a phrase(which is the case above)?

I understand that it's fine to use it like "ways in which academic research is made useful", but it just seems a bit weird to use "in which" like the sentence above...

I'm not a native speaker so I'm not sure if I'm right..... It'll be really great if someone can help me out...

Yes.

The relative pronoun is optional. If we take it out, this is what is left.

We feel the need to find ways (in which) to be part of the group.
