Swedish term

sjukhusfysiker

Swedish to English Medical Medical (general) Cancer treatment
I am rather torn between calling this a:

"hospital physician" or "hospital technician"

I have not heard of a "hospital physicist" but perhaps someone out there has some idea.

I am afraid giving the sentence would not help as it is simple a help wanted advertisement for a cancer clinic saying they need a "sjukhusfysiker"
