In summary: It's not unusual to just call a department and ask if they are hiring. You might want to focus on places that have people in astronomy and/or which offer astronomy classes (undergrad and grad levels) or have some small observatory. Have a CV ready.

This thread is old enough that the decision would have already been made (residencies start in July). Though, I'd be curious to know if the OP is still with us and has found a satisfactory position.
