Many scholarly societies maintain websites that provide information about available postdocs. But I would say that this approach should come second to another, which is much more successful. I have found that the best approach is to find out in the literature who works in areas that you would like to do your postdoc on, read their articles, and then contact them directly, via a well-crafted e-mail (without any English mistake!!!), to let them know that you are very much interested in their research, that you would like to work with them, and that you are available for a postdoc or any other position, if they have funding for you. Believe me, many professors in the US love to have applicants who are genuinely interested in what they are doing, and from my experience, they are willing to move mountains to attract them to their labs. Motivation is half the battle in research.
I would recommend you website name glassdoor, you can upload your CV and can also search through keywords in specific locations (such as North America). Last but not least you can have their mobile app to keep yourself updated all the time.

As another option, you can also apply to postdoc fellowships in USA. Here is a list of fellowships available to non-US citizens.
Finally, as Philippe Baveye mentioned, you can also identify laboratories with research topics of interest to you, and approach the PI directly to ask for postdoc openings in his laboratory! Do not hesitate to email and also use social networks like LinkedIn or conferences to approach them. Being proactive is also a good strategy to differentiate from other postdoc job hunters!
I think you can go through google scholar. Then choose your research field and check the latest research/published article. You will find the lab/university information as well. Then try to pursue by yourself.
A good option is LinkedIn, you can specify the region (country) and research area of your interest and you would receive notifications, at least in Canada and USA often see calls from several laboratories.
Twitter! Follow all the labs that you are interested in or are relevant to your work. All the labs in USA and Canada have their accounts on Twitter and PIs are quite responsive. Best of luck with your hunt.
I am of the opinion that the best way to find a Postdoc position is just sending Email for professors in related fields. Although it is possible more of them don't send respond for you but if one they they have a position you will receive an email from them.
I am applying for the postdoc position for the last three months via Linkedin, Twitter, and university pages. From many professors, I got the response that my CV is excellent but my research expertise doesn't match or they already selected the candidate for the mentioned fellowship etc...
