One considering the Universe dispersing stoic’s gloom (11)

I believe the answer is:

cosmologist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one considering the universe' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'dispersing stoic's gloom' is the wordplay.
'dispersing' is an anagram indicator.
'stoics'+'gloom'='stoicsgloom'
'stoicsgloom' with letters rearranged gives 'COSMOLOGIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for cosmologist that I've seen is " One studying the universe".)
