Morphology
The noun phrase is compositionally built: 'cognitive' (relating to mental processes) modifies 'neuroscientist' (a scientist of the nervous system), so the meaning 'a scientist who studies brain processes related to cognition' is directly derivable from the parts. This adjective + noun pattern is a standard, cross-linguistic way to form specialist job titles, making it immediately comprehensible to learners who know both constituents.
Etymology
Cognitive neuroscientist joins cognitive (about 'thinking') with the parts neuro and scientist (a scientist who studies the brain and nerves). So, the name pictures a person who studies how the brain makes thoughts, feelings and other mental skills.
