There are several. I am constantly getting spammed by them.

But a good start is the National Association of Flight Instructors.

It seems that CFI jobs are pretty easy to get. I get ads in the mail
looking for CFIs, offering to fly me to Arizon, etc to work for
several months. Most ask for 200 dual given and 200 IFR but I'd bet
they would negotiate that. It seems like there are a lot of CFI's
looking for jobs but no one seems to stay anywhere for long so
openings happen often. I hear FBOs complain about the difficulty of
getting CFI's, most say they would be able to hold more students if
they had CFIs for them. Maybe when I retire I'll CFI full time.

My observation is that CFI work load falls somewhere between a full
time job and a part time job. I am a part time CFI, and I get more
calls from students than I can handle, but I know that if I were a
full time CFI there won't be enough work to fill the day.

That is my experience as well as an independent CFI. However, I do not
believe that is the case for an FBO CFI who works at a busy academy.
Of course they only make about 1/5 what we make per hour.
