I work for a private university, and while the culture is probably pretty different, I know some things tend to hold true for higher education environments.
Definitely work your contacts... an email is good, but a quick phone call is better. (And depending on how close you are to the person you wish to talk to, you may just want to drop in for a few minutes and have an informal chat).
As far as applying for more than one position, that's a tough one. At my university, I know of a young lady who has applied for every position that has opened in my department... which not the best tactic. If the positions are similar, and you really like both of them, then go for it, but if not, you may want to stick to the one that is really the best fit.
I know you asked this question a while ago, but I just saw it. Hope I could help.
