Use jQuery DOM selector syntax in PhantomJS?

Question

I'm learning PhantomJS and wondered if it's possible to use jQuery DOM selectors in the JS files PhantomJS runs? I've seen a short example on github that appears to indicate this:

Sample of PhantomJS with Qunit (and jQuery?)

If you look at the run-qunit.js file at the top it seems state you can use jQuery DOM selectors as parameters. But I'm getting errors when I do that-- not sure whether it's my syntax or because Phantom doesn't know about jQuery, so I thought I'd ask first about the PhantomJS/jQuery relationship.
