Vatandoust was born in Isfahan, Iran, on 17 July 1947. Being originally from Shiraz, he lived in Tehran from his childhood. Vatandoust completed his high school (Oloom High School, Tehran) in 1965 and on the same year and after passing the universities entrance examination was admitted to the Faculty of Science, University of Tehran.
After receiving his BSc degree in Chemistry in 1969 and completing his mandatory military service he joined the then Archaeological Centre of Iran to help, with collaboration of others, with establishing the first conservation and restoration laboratory there.
After returning to Iran, Vatandoust continued his career in the Archaeological Centre of Iran and further developed, with the help and cooperation of his colleagues, the conservation laboratory (Currently this laboratory which is located in the basement of the Research Centre for Archaeology, is part of the National Museum of Iran Conservation Laboratory).
In 1987 he submitted a proposal to the then Iranian Cultural Heritage Organisation for the creation of the Central Research Laboratory for the Conservation of Cultural Properties, and upon receiving the Organisation's agreement he began the project. It was soon completed and opened. Simultaneously he succeeded in securing the approval for the construction of a building to house the laboratory.
The building was constructed on a piece of land in front of National Museum of Iran. In December 2005 the building was officially opened and housed the Research Centre for the Conservation of Cultural Relics (RCCCR), an institution he had established after creation of the Central Laboratory for Conservation. Management of the Bureau for International Relations was among his other responsibilities in the cultural heritage section of the country. Vatandoust was retired from the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organisation of Iran in 2009.
Vatandoust came to Iran in 1975 to cooperate in establishing an academic course on the restoration of cultural properties in Pardis-e Isfahan, affiliated to Farabi University. Accordingly, he began his teaching career at this college from 1975 alongside scholars such as Mohammad Karim Pirnia and Jamshid Behnam.
