About this position

James Vanjak is seeking an industry position following the completion of his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Houston. His target roles include research and development, process innovation, and laboratory management in petrochemicals, energy, defense, and critical minerals and materials.

His research background is in rare-earth organometallic chemistry, building on doctoral work at Texas A&M and postdoctoral research conducted after helping establish a new academic laboratory. His experience includes highly air-sensitive chemistry and the planning of multiple parallel projects to manage uncertainty and maintain research progress.

Vanjak has characterized materials using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, and SQUID magnetometry, while working with computational collaborators to develop comprehensive interpretations of experimental results. He also brings practical laboratory leadership experience, including maintaining instruments, upholding safety standards, and coordinating projects.

The opportunity sought is industry-based rather than a degree or postdoctoral opening, with particular relevance to chemistry, materials, energy, petrochemical, defense, and critical-minerals environments. He would prefer to remain in the Houston area but is open to relocating for a suitable role.
