Retired justices can sit by designation on any federal court, but O'Connor did not indicate where she hopes to sit.

Not without a presidential appointment I hope! And President Bush is NOT giving back her resignation!

Retired SCOTUS judges often sit on an occasional Court of Appeals panel. They are appointed to do so by, IIRC, the Chief Justice. When Thurgood Marshall resigned from the Supreme Court and returned to New York, he sat on a few Second Circuit panels. I expect Roberts will appoint her to some 9th Circuit panels.
