Yes, you’ll need to initialize it after rendering. To do that, you can make use of Ember’s didInsertElement event on your view (in conjunction with the [Ember Run Loop](http://discuss.emberjs.com/t/attaching-jquery-events-to-bound-items/3580/3)), but additionally, you’ll want to observe whatever collection is feeding your isotope container.

Here’s a working example-

Edit- I threw together an Isotope component example as well for fun.
