You can simply use jQuery in the usual way, such as in this example: http://www.jsviews.com/#samples/jsr/helpers
$("#movieList").on("click", "#sortBtn", myHandler);
var html = $("#movieTemplate").render(movies);
$("#movieList").html(html);
By using
$("#movieList").on("click", "#sortBtn", myHandler);
rather than
$("#sortBtn").on("click", myHandler);
you can bind the event before rendering.
But this will also work fine:
var html = $("#movieTemplate").render(movies);
$("#movieList").html(html);
$("#sortBtn").on("click", myHandler);
