2 and 3 mean the same thing. We might say "at this hospital", not "of", but they do mean the same thing. 1 means he is one of potentially more than one doctor at the hospital.
#4 is best. I don't know how schools are administered in your country, but, in the USA, there is only one principal per school. There may be vice-principals in large schools, but only one principal.
