Last year, I did some research at a somewhat prominent university, and the time has come to add this to my resume. However, I'm hung up about how to note this on my resume, i.e. whether to use:
University of Bullfrog, Department of Horticulture
Visiting Researcher
or
Department of Horticulture, University of Bullfrog
Visiting Researcher
To me it feels more proper to lead with 'Department of ...', but at the same time, I don't want to bury the 'University of Bullfrog' name in my resume. It is relatively prestigious, so I'd like to put it in a position where it is as prominent as reasonably possible.
Is there a convention on which to use? Have I forgotten any other alternatives?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

Either one is fine. I don't think the order matters. When the reader sees Department of Horticulture, he wants to know which university and vice versa. However, you need to explain what "Visiting Researcher" means because it's not conventional. Postdoc or Research Assistant are well understood.

@scaaahu Thanks. Regarding "Visiting Researcher": I do have a more descriptive title on my resume. In this question, I kept it short and omitted those details.

Your question is on the borderline between Workplace SE and Academia SE. I am not sure what job you are looking for. (I see you have close to 10k rep on Math SE). If it's academic job you are writing your resume (CV) for, you may get better answers on Academia SE. By the way, you are getting one close vote so far.

@scaaahu Thanks -- I'm updating my general, industry-targeted resume. I am not writing an academic CV. (I debated whether to post here or on academia.SE, and picked this one as I was targeting industry, not academia.)

I prefer the first alternative. If you worked for IBM, you'd state the name of the company first,followed by the specific division of the company.
This is for your FYI: if you want to ask questions about resume formats, check the profiles on Linkedin first- These profiles are almost always regurgitated in word, letter and format from the resumes of the individuals involved. If you're still stuck, ask us.

I advise you to use spell check to catch errors such as "resurgitated".
