   Graduate Research Assistantships are currently available with The Dr.   
   Dolittle Project in the Speech and Signal Processing lab at Marquette   
   University. The fundamental goal of this research project is to   
   develop a broadly useable framework for pattern analysis and   
   classification of animal vocalizations, by integrating successful   
   models and ideas from the field of speech processing and recognition   
   into bioacoustics. Tasks include automatic vocalization classification   
   and labeling, individual identification, call type classification,   
   behavioral vocalization correlations, language acquisition, and   
   seismic infrasonic communication.  Species being targeted for study   
   include domestic and agricultural animals, marine mammals, and several   
   endangered species, in collaboration with researchers at a number of   
   other institutions.   
      
   Compensation includes tuition reimbursement as well as a monthly   
   stipend of  $1400 per month. Candidates should have a Bachelors or   
   Masters degree in a discipline related to speech and signal processing   
   or bioacoustics.   
      
   The Speech and Signal Processing lab is associated with the Department   
   of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Marquette University,   
   located in Milwaukee, WI. Interested individuals should send an e-mail
