Actually, its not necessary to create a new JobDetail like described by LeftyX. You can just schedule a new trigger that is connected to the JobDetail from the current context.

public void Execute(JobExecutionContext context) {
    try {
        // code
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        SimpleTriggerImpl retryTrigger = new SimpleTriggerImpl(Guid.NewGuid().ToString());      
        retryTrigger.Description = "RetryTrigger";
        retryTrigger.RepeatCount = 0;
        retryTrigger.JobKey = context.JobDetail.Key;   // connect trigger with current job      
        retryTrigger.StartTimeUtc = DateBuilder.NextGivenSecondDate(DateTime.Now, 30);  // Execute after 30 seconds from now
        context.Scheduler.ScheduleJob(retryTrigger);   // schedule the trigger

        JobExecutionException jex = new JobExecutionException(ex, false);
        throw jex;
    }
}

This is less error prone than creating a new JobDetail. Hope that helps.
