I don't follow Codan much, so I don't know if this is common knowledge, but the uni I work at (Adelaide) is offering a PhD scholarship funded by the company.

A lot of these type of scholarships are just philanthropic efforts, where the PhD project has to be in some vaguely-defined area related to whoever is funding it. But this one seems quite specific.

It looks like they want to attach one of their metal detectors to a semi-autonomous robot that can then go off and find stuff. As I said, I don't follow the company, so maybe already have some of these things, or maybe this a new project for them. In any case, they seem to be serious about it, as one of the PhD supervisors is their Chief Scientist (Phil Wahrlich), and the student needs to do 3 month internship at the company.

Anyway, I thought this might be interesting if you follow Codan.
