In this podcast Bourguignon and two of his fellow panel members\u00a0 tell Julie Gould how\u00a0better career tracking data from universities and other institutions would show how few achieve staff positions, challenging the perception that academia is the only worthwhile career option.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/media.nature.com\/original\/nature-assets\/multimedia\/podcast\/naturejobs\/naturejobs-2018-08-01.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

The discussion took place at the biennial\u00a0Euroscience Open Forum<\/a>\u00a0(ESOF) meeting, held in Toulouse, France.\u00a0Bourguignon is joined on the podcast by\u00a0Rolf Tarrach<\/a>, President of the European University Association, and\u00a0Ren\u00e9e Schroeder<\/a>, head of the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at the Max F. Perutz Laboratories of the University of Vienna.<\/p>\n
