Benjamin, do the founders need to have prior experience or would you be open to taking an ambitious graduate student that might have alignment of their research to these positions? Also, can you post your LinkedIn?

Thank you for being part of the community and posting!

We're always hiring chemists and engineers (from bachelor's to PhD and early to late career) at Origin Materials: https://www.originmaterials.com/careers. We pull from most chemical-related industries (refining, pharma, specialty chemicals, commodity chemicals, semiconductors, etc.) and we have labs in Houston, TX, and Sacramento, CA.

Can confirm Origin is doing great work. I have a friend within the team there and it sounds like a really exciting place to work. Definitely on the cutting edge and the company is going to do well by doing good. Can't get much better than this.

C&EN is hiring! If you get any of these and they ask, please tell them Craig sent you :)

A reporter covering biochem and instrumentation https://jobs.acs.org/job/Washington-Biochemistry-and-Instrumentation-Reporter%2C-C&EN-DC-20036/912390000/ I kind of split the instrumentation with the person in this job, as I cover it from the business side and they cover it from the science/research side.

We're also hiring for someone to help wrangle freelancers for C&EN and ACS Central Science https://jobs.acs.org/job/Washington-Editor%2C-Content-Partnerships%2C-C&EN-DC-20036/913335200/
