Absolutely. You should apply to any job 1) you want and 2) you have some chance of getting. Of course it's likely this job is already "wired" for someone who already works there, and they're only posting it because their hiring process says they have to. But even if that's the case, it's not impossible the proverbial lightening will strike and you'll get it anyway. We had a job opening that was opened specifically for a contractor we wanted to hire. But the guy messed something up (drug test, interview, background check, etc) and someone from the outside got the job.
