Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'director' (a manager or person in charge) + 'of' (linking role to domain) + 'research' (organized investigation), so a B1 learner who knows these words will understand it as the person who oversees research. This is a common, compositional English noun phrase pattern (role + of + domain) and has clear parallels in many other languages, making it immediately transparent.
Etymology
Director of research comes from the image of a director as someone who guides and research as a careful search for facts. Imagine a leader standing at the front and organizing the team's work, so the phrase means 'a person in charge of research'.
