Question

In the old testiment book of Job, he lived in the land of Uz.
Where in the world would Uz be today?

Answer 1

Baker encyclopedia of the Bible says (probably more than you wanted to know about Uz):

Uz (Place).
Homeland of Job (Jb 1:1). It appears in parallels with Edom and is associated with the Uz in the family tree of the original Horites in Seir (Lam 4:21). Uz is referred to among the kings of the world (Jer 25:20) in an obscure geographical context. Uz is followed by Philistia and then by the Transjordanian nations of Edom, Moab, and Ammon.
The Book of Job does not locate the land of Uz but does ascribe it to the “sons of the East (Kedem)” (Jb 1:3). Uz is also close to the desert (v 15) and to the Chasdim (v 17).
The associations with Edom strongly suggest that the land of Uz was populated by descendants of the Horites of Seir. Further support for this view is a verse in the Greek version at the end of the Book of Job: “since he had lived in the land of Uz on the borders of Edom and Arabia.”
Certain ancient traditions place the home of Job in Bashan. Josephus also says that Job lived in Trachonitis and Damascus (Antiq. 1.6.4) with reference to the Uz of the Aramaean genealogy (Gn 10:23). A ruler named Ayyabu is known from the Bashan area according to the el-Amarna letters dating to the 14th century b.c. That city-state prince has the equivalent of the Hebrew name that comes into English as Job. There was also a place in Bashan called Udumu, which would be the equivalent of Hebrew Edom; it appears in the Amarna correspondence and in Egyptian texts. All this would dovetail with the allusion to the sons of the East (Kedem) in Job 1:3.
Uz was thus considered a source of wise men like Job. It was located to the east of the land of Israel, near the desert. One possibility is that there was more than one place by this name, perhaps a northern and a southern one. In any case, the land of Uz is not in any immediate contact with Israel or Judah. As the homeland of the ancient sage, Job, Uz would appear to belong to the earlier ethnographic sphere of places and peoples.

Answer 2

The land of Uz was perhaps made most famous by Job, a very righteous man, as described by God Himself (Job 1:8), who lost everything - his family, his health and his great wealth - in a severe test that God allowed Satan to inflict upon him. After it was over, God restored it all, and much more, back to him.

The precise location of the land of Uz is uncertain, although The Bible record does provide some clues. The land may have originally been named after Uz, who was the son of Aram, and grandson of Shem (Genesis 10:23, 1 Chronicles 1:17). One of Job's friends, Eliphaz, came from Teman (Job 4:1), which is in Idumea. Uz was subject to attacks from Sabeans and Chaldeans (Job 1:15,17). It had to have fertile pastures, since Job had many thousands of animals. It had at least one major city, since Job sat at the city gate.

The two most likely locations for the land of Uz is in Arabia, east of Petra (today, northwestern Saudi Arabia), or more likely, in Bashan, east of The Sea Of Galilee and south of Damascus (today, western Jordan or southern Syria).
