Where in the Old Testament can you find the doctrine of the Resurrection?

in Daniel, 2 Maccabees and the Wisdom of Solomon.
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake; some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt" (Daniel 12:2).
2 Maccabees "But the King of the universe will raise us up to an everlasting renewal of life, because we have died for his laws" (7:9). Their mother is filled with the same inspiration when she says: "The Creator of the world, who shaped the beginning of man and devised the origin of all things, will in his mercy give life and breath back to you again, since you now forget yourselves for the sake of his laws" (7:23).
The Wisdom of Solomon, written just before the Christian era, employs the assumption of immortality throughout.

The resurrection is clearly stated in the following passages, despite what some Christian 'theologians' may say:
Job 14:12-15; 19:25-27; Psalm16:9; Psalm 17:15 (also, arguably, in Ps. 23:6 & 49:15); Isaiah 25:8; 26:19; Ezekiel 37:1-14; Daniel 12:2, 13; Hosea 13:14. There may be other references, for instance in Psalms & Proverbs, but this list should be enough to be getting along with.
May God bless all who truly seek Him.

Thanks Primoa, Psalms 16:10 is a great to look at passage. Look at the sacrifice of Isaac in light of Hebrews 11:17-19. I would also note what Jesus said to the Sadducess (Jews that believe that there is not a resurrection of the dead) in Matthew 22:23-33. It is found in the Old Testament.

Psalms 16: 10 "For you will not leave my soul in Sheol. You will not allow your loyal one to see the pit."
Hosea 13: 14 "From the hand of Sheol I shall redeem them, from death I shall recover them. Where are your strings, O Death? Where is your destructiveness, O Sheol? Compassion itself will be concealed from my eyes."
Malachi 3:16 speaks of a "book of remembrance". "At that time those in fear of Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance began to be written up before him for those in fear of Jehovah and for those thing upon his name."
Martha the sister to Lazarus comment at Luke 11:24 shows the Jews believed in the resurrection. Speak to Jesus of Lazarus "I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day."
