Thanks again for your help, this is what the kernel.js ends up looking like:

define(['base/js/namespace'], function(IPython){
    console.log("Kernel event handler loaded")
    $([IPython.events]).on('kernel_ready.Kernel', function() {
        console.log("kernel_ready.Kernel event handler")
    });

    return {onload:function() {console.log("Setting up kernel event 
handler: %o",IPython)}}
})
