Google Apps Script not able to run function?

The variable 'user' is not assigned the users email, and the label 'QT's text is not changed. Is this the correct way to call this function. 

$(document).ready( function (){
    var user = google.script.run.getCurrentUser();
    $('#masterDiv').data('cUser', user);
    $('#QT').text(user);
});



//Server function
function getCurrentUser() {
    var userEmail = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
    return userEmail;
}

Almost, you must include a withSuccessHandler, since google.script.run calls are asynchronous Javascript doens't wait for it to return something to continue the code, here:

$(document).ready( function (){
    var user = google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(whatToDo).getCurrentUser();
});

function whatToDo( returnedFromServer ){
    $('#masterDiv').data('cUser', returnedFromServer);
    $('#QT').text(user);
}
