What do you mean, what is it you want to negotiate? Visitation? I mean she can't keep you from moving, but if you do you will likely give up your parental rights. I would think about all you could negotiate is seeing them once a month or so. I have two friends (in different states) who were both required to have a clause in their D decrees that if either party moved beyond a certain radius then they would surrender their parental rights. That wasn't in mine (I'm in TX) so I think it varies.

EDIT- Just read R2C's post, are you thinking about trying to get her to move there too? That makes more sense then what I was thinking above. Not sure you would have much luck with it, but if the opportunity is that good then I don't think it would hurt to ask. I would make it clear to her that you haven't accepted the position and are just running it past her for her thoughts.
