Spanish term or phrase: investigador titular 'B'
Could someone explain what the 'B' stands for, please and suggest a possible translation (if appropriate).
Thanks

Grade "B" Investigator / Researcher
Explanation:
I think you can get by without knowing what the B stands for; it is not a question a translator should be expected to answer.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Also, the text states that he is a full-time researcher so I agree with Alejandro.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Alejandro Alcaraz Sintes: But "titular" denotes "tenured", "con plaza en propiedad".
