Someone who is incredibly good at math/chemistry/statistics/physics/calculus all these but has poor English. What jobs could one possibly find in the United States that would be interested in hiring him? How would one start looking for employment?

Don't you love it when people who complain about foreign professors not speaking fluent English can't even write in English? If you are that good at math you can get a lot of good jobs in US, including professorships in research universities. But smaller colleges care much more about student satisfaction and may have a bias against hiring foreigners. As for how you get such jobs... For academia best place to start is EIMS which is an employement advertisement service by the American Mathematical Society, check www.ams.org. For research positions you may want to check online services like www.monster.com or for financial jobs you may want to contact an employment agent (head hunter) who can arrange interviews with top hirers in the field. However your mentioning chemistry, physics etc in addition to your math skills is interesting, do you have an advanced degree in math? If not then it would be very hard to convince anyone that you are what they are looking for.

To be quite honest, a lot of my professors have had very poor English (worse than yours appears to be). Most universities would hire you because you are so skilled in your feild and would just be teaching math (or perhaps science but that is much harder to teach without good English... math is kind of it's own language as you know).
If you do take a job in the US I encourage you to continue to improve your English, your students will greatly appreciate it because it will come up when you need to explain concepts, applications and grades.

First, what is your native language? If it is Spanish or a language in demand in states with a high concentration of bi-lingual skills you might have a good shot. Math, chem and stats are not the most easily filled teaching positions in the US I am sorry to say.
Try contacting the teacher's unions (NEA) and school ( I imagine you are discussing high school or secondary education...college, grad) districts or state employment agencies in states such as California, Florida, Texas, etc.
I received my MBA in finance and statistics were tough for me.
Good luck to you.

Try the Universities and the larger research organizations (the IBM's, Rand Corporations, etc.)

like everyone has said, you could be a college proffesor. I have professors from asia who are very smart but I can barely understand a word their saying.
