Beth,
There are numerous websites devoted to openings/postings in the museum
field:
Museum Employment Resource Center <http://www.museum-employment.com/>
AAM Career Search <http://www.aam-us.org/aviso/index.cfm>
Museumprofessionals.org
<http://www.museumprofessionals.org/forum/search.php?searchid=110585>
Museum Market <http://www.museummarket.com/Jobs.htm>
Algonquin College
<http://www.algonquincollege.com/museum/jobres/jobs.html> also has a
fairly extensive list of links for hunting down museum job openings.
And, as always, you can check specific museums' web sites and see what
positions they have available; at least many larger museums have some
sort of job announcements page.
Good Luck
