Explanation:
'do quadro' here in Portugal means you are 'efectivo' which means you have security of employment and cannot be fired ie you are permanent not a temporary worker. The implication seems to be 'I was still only a medical student but they offered me a permanent post'. I'm not sure my translation is any better than 'staff researcher', but maybe the explanation helps...
