For the first five seasons, Ross works at the Museum of Prehistoric History. He is one of the paleontologists there. He soon gets his own office in Season 3. In "The One With Phoebe's Uterus", it's shown that Joey also works here, as a tour guide.
In "The One With Ross' Sandwich", Ross goes on sabbatical because he becomes angry with his boss when he eats Ross' sandwich. However, when Ross' boss visits him to ask him to come back to work at the museum feeling that Ross has controlled his anger, Ross just discovers that Monica and Chandler are in a relationship and he gets mad again in front of his boss.
After that episode, Ross never returns working in the museum, although it is unclear if he got fired or resigned.
Ross later gets a teaching job at New York University.
