I don't know how to solve this in the claimed O(N) time. However, I have coded a data structure that, given j, will find k in O(log(N)) time. With it you can solve your problem in O(N log N) time. The data structure is built in O(N) time and space. It is part of a larger data structure that I will implement and release as open source in a few months.
