I know this is answered, but thought I would share. Underscore js has this covered for you with the _.defer function.

render: function() {
    $(this.el).html(this.template({title: 'test'}));  //#1
    _.defer( function( view ){ view.renderScatterChart();}, this );
    return this;
},

According the the Underscore docs, this is effectively the same thing as the accepted solution.
