Placement of words

Hi, could a teacher please tell me which sentence is correct, specifically the placement of 'as a faculty member'?

I worked 'as a faculty member' at the University of Dubai in the department of Geology.

I worked at the University of Dubai 'as a faculty member' in the department of Geology.

Are both correct? If so, is there a preference?

Thank you.

Thanks, teacher. So the placement of 'as a faculty member' does not matter in my sentence? Do you prefer one over the other?

I see. thanks again. I have learned a new way to use the word 'faculty' in a sentence.

Just curious, is this sentence also correct: I worked as a faculty member in the department of Geology at the University of Dubai.
